I have been working my way through a series on relationships and work over the past 4 weeks at church. It has been tough but very rewarding. One of the great things about doing this is seeing the way in which the two topics overlap.
Firstly, we established that relationships are other person centred as we looked at how the Trinity relates to each other. Broughton-Knox's book 'The Everlasting God' was an enormous help for this section.
Secondly, we saw that work is sharing God's good gifts to promote communities that care for each other.
Work then became another opportunity for expressing our relationship. Work is an other person centred activity. Our work is an opportunity to contribute to society. There is not the sphere of our lives called relationships and another called work, they overlap and interlock with each other - we can't compartmentalise these two big topics.

Good grief, you have a blog. Now I have to come here and comment in an attempt to shamelessly promote my own blog.
